After many years, Cao Xiang became a toddler over one year old. His dark eyes stared curiously at the world. He waved his little hands and liked to catch butterflies. He didn't care even if the butterflies were still far away. His excited little mouth kept making strange things. Cao Xiang inherited his parents' intelligence and could speak clearly when he was less than a year old, and could utter several clear short words when he was more than a year old. ? One year old is the age when you are learning to talk and learn to walk. "Come on, Xiang'er, come to mother." Cao Xiang took small steps and swayed from side to side. He staggered a few steps and stood firm. He opened his little hands excitedly and ran towards his mother's arms without taking a few steps. So suddenly it fell out with a shaking eye. "Be careful!" Suddenly a breeze blew, and a tall man appeared and hugged little Cao Xiang. The young child turned to look at the strange man curiously. His skin was slightly dark, and his eyebrows were heroic. For a moment, the women were stunned. Liu Huan had mixed feelings and rushed over to hug his shoulders. Cao Shi hugged his wife's shoulders with a gentle smile on his lips: "Wuan'er, Xiang'er, I'm back." Little Cao Xiang saw her mother and The stranger kissed him and waved his little hands: "Mom, who is he? Who is he?" "Xian'er, that's your father!" "Father." Cao Xiang looked confused, and the little boy shrank to In his mother's arms, the brave little guy finally remembered that he should be afraid of strangers. Cao Shi gently scraped the bridge of his nose and did not blame the child. He went to South Vietnam and stayed there for almost a year. It was strange that the child could remember that he blamed his father. Wei Junru, who had just finished his confinement, was helped over and Cao Shi helped him up without having to kneel down. The little daughter was also wrapped in a blanket by her wet nurse and came out. Cao Shi held the child and said thoughtfully: "The appearance is up to you. She will be a beautiful girl when she grows up. Let's call her Cao Chang!" It spread in the afternoon. By early the next morning, there was an endless stream of bureaucrats coming to visit. Cao Shi asked each family to leave a greeting card with their name, and return the gifts as they were, no matter how high or low they were. Later, there were so many people visiting that he couldn't bear to be disturbed and simply closed the door to thank the guests, claiming that he had been in South Vietnam for too long and needed to recuperate. Everyone knew that this was a random excuse. Cao Shizhuang was as strong as a cow. No maintenance is necessary at all. Some people can be avoided, while others must come out for interviews. Han Anguo is the first Jiuqing-level official to meet and talk secretly. But he was by no means the last. "First of all, congratulations to General Chariot and Cavalry for their victory in quelling the three-yue border troubles and pushing the Han family southward to the South China Sea. The only drawback is that the defeated Han army did not return with the army. I am here to ask General Chariot and Cavalry for advice." Han Anguo got straight to the point, No time wasted on false etiquette. Cao Shi was not stunned: "Please tell me." "The Queen Mother's hands are too deep for the chaos in Chang'an. We don't know how to deal with it." "I don't know much about it all the time. Besides, I don't know much about it. It¡¯s not convenient to interrupt even if it¡¯s a military position.¡± Han Anguo was stunned: ¡°Does General Cheqi intend to continue his career in the military?¡± ¡°The emperor needs excellent generals to implement the plan, and I am the most suitable choice for the Han family. Why should I give up the military. What about my position? Besides, what can I do if I give up my military position? " "You can be the Sangong and Jiuqing!" Cao Shi suddenly shook his head and laughed: "I made an oath with the Empress Dowager, and even if I don't keep it, I will have nothing to do with Jiuqing. If you are very interested, the general would be a good choice. " "Then what you mean is "Young Master Han is too superficial. As long as you try your best to do your job well and don't make any mistakes, the Young Master is always walking on thin ice. The emperor has a steelyard in his mind to decide whether to stay or go." Don't look at my relatives dancing happily. Someone will soon be in trouble." Han Anguo, who was full of questions, was greeted by the wine worshipper Wei Wan. He came over as a routine to explain the development of Taixue during the year. Basically, he meant that the construction of Taixue would add weight to the economy of Chang'an City. In a few years. Taixue trains tens of thousands of professional mid-level talents every year. After obtaining a Taixue certificate, they can register with the government and change their household registration, transforming ordinary people into high-level talents in this era. Wei Wan is very excited. The enrollment situation this year is very good. Although the data is not as exaggerated as the first year, at least the trend will guide the market to make many corresponding methods. Wei Wan was the one talking the whole time, and Cao Shi only had to listen to the story with his ears. It was not until Cao Shi asked him to leave on the grounds of being tired that the excited Taixue offered wine and had to return in dismay. The last person to come was a heavyweight, former Prime Minister and Bai Zhihou Xuchang. He is also the prime minister, and he is also exempted from the phase. Wei Wan still has someWith the bonus of affection, Xuchang has no room for sympathy. Except for the overweight minister until he plays a role, Xuchang himself is almost an invisible prime minister among the people. For the first time, the power of the prime minister is completely shrouded by the imperial power, making Xuchang truly invisible. The prime minister would be suppressed by the emperor if he wanted to do anything, and the heavy pressure almost made him breathless. The conflict between the prime minister's power and the imperial power led to multi-layered accumulation of conflicts. The prime minister's life was very uncomfortable, and the emperor's heart was also uncomfortable. The silent struggle between the prime minister and the emperor was bound to end with the victory of the imperial power. Xuchang was the only victim of this defeat. Obviously There are still more than ten years to live, just like the emperor, I have to bow my head and admit defeat when I am old. Xuchang, the Marquis of Bai Zhi, was the prime minister who was jointly recommended by the military merit lords. The emperor's silent abolition of Xuchang was tantamount to not saving face for the military merit lords. Military merit lords were mainly composed of the military merit system. A small number of them found new ways to engage in politics and business in an attempt to break out of the new situation. , Jun Gongjue was unwilling to be suppressed by the emperor's hawks and dogs. In the past half month, many fierce frictions broke out between the two sides. "Marquis Pingyang! You have also seen my situation. The emperor's authority is getting stronger and stronger, and it is becoming more and more difficult for us to appoint marquises as officials. I see that you have said so many good things about military merit and honor, and it seems that the emperor has completely put away these thoughts. With the current batch of military meritorious officials, if we spend two more people to cultivate new military meritorious officials, our abundant old people will die one after another, and all of us military meritorious officials will be finished." The atmosphere changed as soon as Xuchang opened his mouth, although Cao Shi thought a lot. There are many ways to solve the deepening problem, but the natural contradiction between military merit and imperial power still exists deep-rooted. The high position of the Sangong and Jiuqing has been proved to be a hard indicator of the strength of military merit. The emperor once again suppressed the princes group, which shows that the young emperor is eager to show his power. . Cao Shiqian laughed a few times: "Marquis Bai Zhi's hard work and merit should not be punished. Many people do not agree with the emperor's hasty replacement of Dou Ying as prime minister. His majesty's selection of talents is often unexpected." "Is there any way you can convince the emperor?" Cao Shiqian laughed a few times. Shi shook his head, Xuchang and he were neither close nor close, so he would not risk losing his official career by saying that. If Xuchang could not become the prime minister, it would be inappropriate for him to do so. There was no need for him to be beaten and shot. Xuchang was also anxious: "It's okay if you don't want me to be a sacrificial wine minister." "Sorry, the appointment is decided by the emperor. I blame the honorary ones for not doing anything at all. It's better to have a few responsible sacrificial wine stewards in the operation and arrange students It is very difficult. It is the emperor's responsibility to arrange the wine ceremony. I suggest Bai Zhihou go to the emperor to discuss it. "Cao Shi was unable to help, so Xuchang left with his head depressed. He was an old man in his sixties and still thought that he could retire after working for three more years. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not give him a chance and knocked him to the ground. There were not many people at that age in Chang'an City. He wanted to be the prime minister for three years and reduced the There are no more ideas left. There are many people who come to seek official positions and titles. Almost every day, people knock on Pingyang Houfu's door, but Cao Shi is not happy to see them. The Yulin Cavalry lost more than a thousand lives in exchange for an impressive record of directly and indirectly killing more than 4,000 enemies. As the temporary commander of the Yulin Cavalry, he received great attention. Zhao Junyu was promoted to the captain of the Yulin Cavalry. Successfully crossed the threshold of rank ratio two thousand stones. Amid the commotion, the summer harvest season arrived in late May. In the field ridges of Nanzhuang, more than a hundred farmers are bending over to harvest rye. This is the second year of planting rye in Nanzhuang, and this year is also the first year of rye harvest. The villagers of Nanzhuang have finally figured out a set of rye methods. Cultivation Management Act. "Hey, Mr. Zheng, you are here. We all want to see you torture the rye harvesters." "Mr. Zheng, please tell me what is so good about rye. Many people here still don't understand!" "Listen. It is said that the rye grown in Mr. Zheng's family has the best growth. I came here today to watch and remember the results. " Mr. Zheng was pacing and couldn't even get a word in. He tilted his head in anger and ignored anyone. He suddenly walked quickly while walking. He walked towards the road with a smile: "Oh, Junhou, why are you coming out? I heard that Junhou is recuperating, and I was thinking of catching a few chickens to make mountain delicacies soup for Junhou to try." "Mr. Zheng, you're welcome, I I just casually went to the field to see the situation. I heard that the rye in Nanzhuang is the most popular. What exactly is going on? " Cao Shi's words attracted the attention of the onlookers, and only those who were farther away realized who was coming. Marquis Pingyang hurriedly came over to greet him: "Marquis Pingyang doesn't know something! Last year, Nanzhuang's rye yielded four stones per mu. Although the planting period took nine months, the grain obtained was rich in nutrients and very suitable for rich people to supplement their nutrition. Chang'an The price of a stone of rye flour in the city is 300 yuan, and the supply exceeds the supply. "One stone of corn costs about 100 yuan, a dou of edible soybean oil costs 200 yuan, a fat sheep costs about 150 yuan, and a stone of rye costs 300 yuan. In comparison, black rice costs 300 yuan." The price of wheat is still very expensive. "The steamed buns made from dark wheat flour are delicious. They are said to be more nutritious, but they are more expensive." "The main reason isWheat saves trouble. Plant the next crop of rye in autumn. No matter it rains, snows or is cold, water and fertilize in the coming year to get through the booting stage as quickly as possible. The rye grown will be a first-class good grain, and it feels better than wheat. It¡¯s much easier to worry about. " More and more people came to watch the excitement. Zheng Tong was sent out to lead dozens of people to harvest the mature crops. He waved his sickle and quickly cut off the rye ears that could not afford to lose. This was the food harvest of the Nanzhuang people this year. At this time, everyone¡¯s face was filled with smiles, and no one complained about the idea that giving up corn was wrong.
